"Life is lived forward, but understood backward. It is not until we are down the road and we stand on the mountain looking back through the valley that we can appreciate the terrain God has allowed us to scale.” Jill Savage

Fun Friday

Okay - I'm heading on a trip to Los Angeles, CA to see my sister. She is 25 years younger than I am - the same age as my daughter and she just had twins! For the next week I had saved some articles that interested me and have them ready to go - plus my birthday tidbits. So don't think you can't go to my blog, check it out, and leave a comment! I'll answer them when I get home!

How the world works lately...

If a man cuts his finger off while slicing salami at work he blames the restaurant -

If you smoke three packs a day For 40 years and die of lung cancer, your family blames the tobacco company.

If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, he blames the bartender.

If your grandchildren are Brats without manners you blame television.

If your friend is shot by a Deranged madman, you blame the gun manufacturer.

And if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to kill the pilot at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead, the mother of the crazed deceased blames the airline.

I must have lived too long to understand the world as it is anymore.

So, if I die while my OLD WRINKLED BUTT is parked in front of this computer, I want all of you to blame Bill Gates.

I was having trouble with my computer.

So I called Richard, the 11 year old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to come over.

Three men were hiking through a forest when they came upon a large Raging, Violent river.

Needing to get to the other side, the first man Prayed: God, please give me the strength to cross the river.

Poof! God gave him big arms and strong legs and he was able to swim across in about 2hours, having almost drowned twice.

After witnessing that, the second man prayed: ' God, please give me Strength and the tools to cross the river'

Poof! .. God gave him a rowboat and strong arms and strong legs and he was able to row across in about an hour after almost capsizing once.

Seeing what happened to the first two men, the third man prayed: ' God, Please give me the strength, the tools and the intelligence to cross the River '

Poof! He was turned into a woman. She checked the map, hiked one Hundred yards up stream and walked across the bridge.

Happy Birthday Martin Luther King- (Wikipedia)

Growing up in Atlanta, King attended Booker T. Washington High School. He skipped ninth and twelfth grade, and entered Morehouse College at age fifteen without formally graduating from high school.

In 1948, he graduated from Morehouse with a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology, and enrolled in Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pennsylvania, from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1951.

King then began doctoral studies in systematic theology at Boston University and received his Doctor of Philosophy on June 5, 1955. A 1980s inquiry concluded portions of his dissertation had been plagiarized and he had acted improperly but that his dissertation still "makes an intelligent contribution to scholarship."

"If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well." ~ Martin Luther King Jr
